The 6'0 guard has a crafty handle, which he used to get into the lane and finish around the basket. Clement has a smooth release on his jumper and shot the ball with confidence from behind the arc. He ran the offense effectively and made good passes throughout the day. Clement is a skilled guard prospect whose ability to make plays with the ball in his hands will help his game tremendously this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Spencer Morel, 6'2 SG Clarkstown South</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Morel had a strong day at the Expo as he showed his ability to impact the game at both ends. The 6'2 guard swatted shots around the basket and moved his feet well on the defensive end. Morel attacked the basket strong as he was able to get into the lane consistently and finished nicely around the basket. He moved well without the ball in his hands and wasted little motion in his release. Morel's ability to affect the game at both ends of the floor is something that will help his development over the course of the 2023-24 season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1628860' first='Isaiah' last='Gore'], 6'2 PG Trenton Catholic</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Gore had a solid day as he made plays throughout the day at the Expo. The lanky 6'2 guard used his tight handle to get into the lane and was able to finish through contact. Gore was able to get to his spot on the floor throughout the day and rose up nicely on his jumper. He showed the potential to defend both backcourt spots and pushed the ball well in transition. Gore is a long guard prospect who should take a big jump up in production in his second varsity season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1948970' first='Donald' last='Nwaigwe'], 6'4 W Piscataway</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Nwaigwe started off the Expo strong as he made his impact felt in the first game.

Nwaigwe has the potential to breakout this season with his combination of skill, length and athleticism.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Ny'Sean Kennedy, 6'3 W College Achieve</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kennedy made an impact at both ends of the floor at the Expo, helping his stock nicely.
